Gregory Baum, a Jewish convert to Catholicism and Augustinian priest, authored the first draft of Nostra Aetate as a theological expert at Vatican II. In his 2016 memoir, Baum revealed he had kept his homosexual relationships private during the Council, saying disclosure "would have reduced my influence as a critical theologian."
Baum left the priesthood in 1974 and became an outspoken critic of Humanae Vitae, reportedly playing a significant role in the Canadian bishops' 1968 "Winnipeg Statement," which opened the door to dissent from Church teaching on contraception.
He later called himself the first Catholic theologian to publicly defend homosexual relationships and remained a prominent advocate for liberation theology.
Gregory Baum, what a loser! Augustinian priest that was not celibate; in a disordered relationship. Promoter of the Communistic doctrine of Liberation Theology. No wonder the results produced by Vatican II were wretched!
He must be the one of those 1100 archenemies of the holy Catholic Church who stood high on the list of Bella Dodd!
